SBS Connectivity issues - 111648

Experiencing intermittent delays and dropped connections to Small Business
Server. Config is: SBS2003 SP2 (all current patches) running on HP ML110
server; 4 PCs onsite - 3 used by onsite staff; 1 used by remote user to
access server via RWW.
Users run basic Office apps, Outlook, Quickbooks, internet access. Also
have an Avaya VIOP phone system (4 phones) on the network. Everything has
been in place for almost 4 years.
Having more frequent connectivity issues. Onsite PCs show delays in Outlook
connecting to Exchange ('Trying to connect ...). Remote user reports dropped
connection via RWW (VBScript: Remote Desktop disconnected). One other user
reports dropped VPN connection. This person also accesses Exchange via
Outlook RPC with HTTP, and that also give errors (connection to Exchange
server has been lost, then connection to server restored). Last, but not
least, users now reporting dropped phone calls.
DSL internet - carrier says no errors on line or modem. Not sure if there
is a problem on the SBS server that is causing slow downs? I have updated
NIC driver, and disabled TCP Chimney. No better.
No error messages in any server logs.
Ideas?

First thing is to download, update, and run the SBS BPA and fix anything
it finds.
www.sbsbpa.com
Then look to the server nic, the switch and the patch cables as resonable
failure points.

I do have the SBS BPA. Ran it - gives me a few errors primarily related to
WSUS 3.0 (Not integrated with SBS 2003 R2, need to updated to SP3). No other
errors.
My server NIC has a diagnostic tool that tests cables. It is showing a
short on 2 pairs, so going to swap the cable. Will start from there and work
my way to the switch and router, eliminating along the way.
Will update when I find something.
Thanks for the suggestions.

GraphicsServer w/ MFC issue: Graph is in the forefront of the screen & doesn't minimizeI'm trying to debug an MFC application that plots data using a graphing

SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 migration headache!Hi folks,
Hoping someone can help me :(
After spending yesterday prepping the source server- running both SBS 2003
Best Practices Analyzer and Exchange Best Practices Analyzer (and resolving
all issues until they both came back clean), full backup, Migration Prep
Tool, answer file etc I was finally ready to get going with the destination
server today. I was very thorough with the documentation, taking it all step
by step.
All looked well, until it seemed to hang on what looked to be a final step.

Connect to Database: Error #430Hi,
I have hit a wall on a new installation and I wondered if anyone out there
has a fix for this? There are no OPOS drivers on the computer and it has the
latest MDAC. We have installed and uninstalled RMS 2.0 and SQL 2005 Express
multiple times. Using an ODBC we can connect to the database. Using SQL
tools we can connect to the database. The only problem is RMS. In
Administrator you get this error using File > Connect or on the Configuration
tab when you test the configuration. Needless to say - Manager does not

OWA setup on SBS 2003Hi,
I can't access OWA on an SBS 2003 server, for any user.
Not sure what is stopping it - is it ISA settings?
I've checked in Active Directory Users and Domains under the user and they
are permitted to use OWA.
Also tried to connect using Sever Activesync and a smart phone, but that
failed too.
Hope you can help.
Neil
Hi,
Could be ISA server stopping OWA from functioning, could also be a lot of
other things (like permisions on folders, web site etc).
What happens when you try to access OWA?

Outlook Client ConnectivityI am trying to connect to the CRM Server via the Outlook client, but have run
into what appears to be an authentication issue. The computer that has the

than he does to login to CRM and the CRM domain.
We have no problems logging into the web client, it just asks us for

Can Not Connect to Exchange Server after Mailbox MoveI have 2 exchange servers. While logged into the domain, and at the
location, I can log into the email system just fine. While remote VPN
in, I can not access the server. I can ping the server, I can see all
shares, and I can even access the printer and print from the exchange
server. But I can not get to it with email.
Any Ideas?
Oh.. both exchange 5.5, both in the same site. Exchange Admin shows
both sites just fine.
is there a firewall with rules configured, in between the users vpn

Migrating AD Back to SBSWe had a domain which was working in a SBS2003 normally but since we had
to change the hardware we added a second DC which is a windows 2008 and
transferred all the roles to it, and let it working alone.
Everything is fine now with the win2008 as a only Domain Controller
We now have to reinstall back the SBS2003 and transfer everything to it
from the win2008, is that possible? is there any how-to or best
practices? As it seems that all i can do is start a new domain from scratch.
Thanks,

using Exchange, the domain is not .local, I cant find the SBS

to improve on the current install, what i really want is to start from

GP 9.0 Login IssuesThere are two users that are having issues logging into great plains and
keeping connected. It doesn't happen every day, only sometimes, but whenever
one of them logs in to Great Plains 9.0 it kicks the other user out, even if
they are the only two users on the system with 10 users allowed at a time.
At times when one person logs in she sees the welcome screen of the other
person that usually kicks her out.
I wondered if this has happened to anyone else and how it could possibly be
resolved. As far as I know these are the only two users it happens to. They
both have completely sepa...

CAsyncSocket, cannot connect to computers not in my subnetMaybe this is a network question, I don't know.
I have this weirdness with my socket class that is derived from
CAsyncSocket. 6 months ago I was able to connect to computers that are not in

trying to connect to computers that are not on my subnet on port 10001 but
the OnConnect callback said it failed.
i.e. my IP 192.168.1.100 and I am attempting to connect to a computer with a

Both computers have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, both computer do NOT

ODBC ConnectionI have a problem with an ODBC Connection on a client workstation. I have

Folder Redirection and roaming Profiles issueHi,
I had set up some users with Roaming profiles via their profile tab in ADU&C.
I had used a Group Policy to Redirect their My Docs and Desktop to a folder

That was a year or two ago. I was setting up a new user the same way as
above, but when I logged into a Pc as them and was about to set up their
email, I noticed in the Section of the All Programs list that is above
ACCESSORIES, it lists all users who have Folder Redirection and allows you to

If you are using a DSN with a userid and password or a DSN-less connection
with windows authentication, you may be able to use something like the

I haven't tested this with a DSN and using windows authentication. I suspect

Migrating SBS 2003 to SBS 2008I really appreciate your inputs regarding my dilemma and made me think to
change course with this migration and obtain private IP's for our network
instead of the public ones. I will need now to figure out where and how to
start changing our IP's! and what is involved.
Hope after changing to private IP's, the migration will run without any
glitches. I'm keeping me fingers and toes crossed.
If you have any suggestion or links on how or where to start to enable me
changing IP's from public to private; then PLEASE let me know.
Thank you for everything guys...
